Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas scored 10 of his 18 points in the third and Terrence Ross was strong throughout, leading all with 20 points, while playing great defence on Kyrie Irving and Luol Deng. Kyle Lowry scored nine points and added five assists in the third on the way to a 14 point, nine-assist game.

Toronto snapped Cleveland’s six-game winning streak — its longest since the LeBron James era — despite solid play from Brampton’s Tristan Thompson and Anthony Bennett, who became the first Canadian duo selected in the NBA’s lottery to play on Canadian soil together.
